    warum is usually translated as plain "why", e.g. why are you going to the store? Wofür and für was are both usually translated as "what for", e.g. for what are you going to the store? In this case, for what means usually what are you getting to the store, but can sometimes mean similar things as why. In this case, the question with why could be answered with " For shopping" vs the questions with for what could be answered with "I want to buy ...." So focusing more on the item in this example. As for "für was" vs. "wofür": wofür is the standard German word vs für was is the "slang" term or the one usually used just in daily life.

    1 In my opinion, they are too demanding. Demanding is one way of translating that and without context, I would say this is how it is translated here. 2 Sturmtief means storm front, so in that case, a storm front from Scotland influences the weather. 3 It took an eternity for me to reach the country road (or highway), depending on what kind of street it is. 4 That being said: It doesn't always work out.

    If you mean the question in the title, it would be "Did you choose a name" because in question you need to declinate the auxiliary verb, which is 'do' here. You only declinate the main verb if there is no auxiliary verb, which is very rare, if not non-existent.

    Nur das zweite ist Korrekt. Im Deutschen sagt man 'freundlich ZU jemandem', da 'mit' eigentlich bedeutet, dass man etwas zusammen mit jemand anderem tut. 'Zu' in diesem Fall bedeutet allerdings, dass man alleine etwas tut, was die andere Person betrifft. Zum Beispiel: Ich gehe mit Sarah ins Kino. Hier tue ich etwas mit Sarah, in diesem Fall gehen wir zusammen ins Kino. Ich gehe zu Sarah ins Kino. Hier gehe ich alleine ins Kino, wo Sarah bereits auf mich wartet.

    "And again I'm booking flights flat on my face from home to worse" basically what he is trying to say in a song context, is that he makes bad decisions and thus falls flat on his face, or is stumped by them, partly taken from the idiom "Auf die Schnauze fallen" In the second part we have a part of the idiom "Vom Regen in die Traufe", which means "from bad to worse", he just changed "Vom Regen" into "Von zuhause".
